I have settled into my new home! I cannot get over that this is where I live... I was prepared to rough it for a couple months but instead I am living a very luxurious life. I am staying in the Senator's staff house with five other girls, all between the ages of 20 and 23, all Filipinas. They are so warm and welcoming and really fun to talk to! I am so happy with my currently living situation– a wonderful house and fantastic people!

| My home for the next two months! |
 |
| My room! Hannah, your bed is on the left :) |
 |
| The door on the right leads to my own bathroom... what!?! |
 |
The kitchen is equipped with lots of appliances– even an oven!
They don't have ovens in Vietnam. |
 |
| The living room/dining room. |
My house is about 10 minutes outside of the main town, Baler. Besides the amazing house, Baler itself is incredible. It is off the beaten path for sure, the only tourists who come here are hard core surfers because this is the best place to surf in the Philippines. I have only seen two or three other tourists since I have been here. There are three hotels and they only get filled or near filled on the weekends when Filipinos come here to surf. Aurora Province is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It has my three favorite landscapes: the ocean, mountains, and rice fields. Add in coconut trees galore and you have paradise, which is where I live. I love it here!

The beautiful Pacific Ocean. There I am, going out for my
first surf lesson! |

| Rice fields. |
 |
| Mountains. |

This is the road leading to my house. I love
how small it is. And check out all the coconut trees. |
